Blackberry Kir Royale Cocktail recipe that is super easy and perfect for holiday, parties and special occasions.  

I do love a nice fruity cocktail and when celebrating French cuisine, I thought only a champagne cocktail would do.  Of course I put an little Oklahoma spin on it and added blackberry brandy.  The results were superb!

Kir Royale Cocktail

Kir Royale is a classic cocktail that mixes champagne and creme de cassis. Of course finding something like that in my little town is crazy talk.

When I spotted the blackberry brandy, I knew that would be a fabulous combination.  You can also use sparkling wine if champagne isn’t quite in the budget.
